This is the first patch to Postfix 19991231. It fixes no bugs but
rather adds a safety net for a common configuration problem.

A common error is to list Postfix virtual domains in the mydestination
parameter. This causes the new optional local_recipient_maps feature
to reject mail for virtual users. Postfix now explicitly tests
for this condition and logs a warning instead of refusing the mail.

The patch is too large for email. It adds only a few lines of code.
The bulk of the patch is spent on clarification in the documentation
and in the sample configuration files, plus some feedback on the
documentation that I received over the last couple days.

The patch, postfix-19991231-patch01.gz, and a complete source kit,
postfix-19991231-pl01.tar.gz, will be made available from the
primary site:

   ftp://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-release/official/
   http://ftp.porcupine.org/mirrors/postfix-release/index.html

including a PGP signature (postfix-19991231-pl01.tar.gz.sig).
